On Saturday 9th, Paris hosted the second round of the inaugural French League. As with the previous round, two games were organised that day.

The first game saw the host team, the Cockerels, taking on the Bombers from Bordeaux. Thanks to their strong midfielders and better skills the Cockerels quickly took control of the game. The Bordeaux players did not surrender and kept on fighting, but could not match the Parisians' play.

Final score: Paris 30.14 (194) d Bordeaux 6.10 (46)

The second game, the Strasbourg Kangourous against the Montpellier Fire Sharks, was much more evenly contested than the first. Despite leading on the scoreboard during the whole game, the Kangourous were never able to secure a good scoring advantage. During the third quarter, the Fire Sharks gave the Kangourous a tough contest and almost took the lead. But the Alsacians were holding on, and in the beginning of the fourth quarter, they scored four goals in a row, giving them the victory.

Final score: Strasbourg 13.14 (92) d Montpellier 11.18 (84)
